[Nightly] Stutters / lags / CPU usage high since about a week?
Hello, I'm on Firefox Nightly 152.0a1 running on a freshly installed new Windows 11 version. I've used Firefox exclusively for my whole life and everything has always been smooth until a few days ago. Firefox started (and continues) to freeze for a second or two pretty regularly, each time I use the search bar for example, open a new tab, while a page is loading (which is very slow at the moment) but also scrolling on a page for example. During the freezes, the temperature of my CPU also increase by approximately 20°C. CPU usage in task manager shows that it is quite high, 10x higher than Edge that I opened for comparison only : https://i.imgur.com/enuMMZl.png.
I have sought the internet for advice but nothing changed this behaviour. I updated my computer through Windows Update, my drivers through Driver Booster, I disabled hardware acceleration on Firefox, I removes all AI components with zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI on GitHub, I changed dom.ipc.processPriorityManager.backgroundUsesEcoQoS on about:config to false but nothing cured the problems.
I'm out of solutions and I don't know if I should be waiting for another Nightly build (usually there's about 1-2 a day but 152.0a1 is sticking since a few days and there isn't any update available since, seemingly), if there's others energy economy parameters I could play with on Windows 11 that I don't know about or if something else is in the way. Any help very appreciated, thanks!

Hi
Please appreciate that the Nightly build of Firefox is still under construction and may have unresolved issues.
You wish to wait until the next Nightly update is available - they are occasionally paused to resolve more serious issues, but it is with intention to start updates again as soon as possible.
Thank you for your answer. You're right as of what Nightly is, but I wouldn't want to accuse the devs if this isn't their fault ^^.
It seems that rolling up a previous version isn't a recommended solution (https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1339751), but are you certain that this is caused by 152.0a1 and not, say, Windows 11?
